PURPOSE:This study was designed to examine the role of adjuvant internal anal sphincter plication in women with neuropathic fecal incontinenceundergoing pelvic floor repair. METHODS: We completed a randomized trial with symptomatic and physiologic assessment before and after surgery. RESULTS: There was no symptomatic advantage of adding internal sphincter plication; the mean improvement of functional score was 3.61 +/- 1.82 (standard deviation; P < 0.01) following pelvic floor repair alone compared with 2.80 +/- 1.66 (standard deviation; P < 0.01) when adjuvant internal and sphincter plication was added. The addition of internal sphincter plication was associated with a significant fall in maximum anal resting and squeezing pressures (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Addition of internal sphincter plication is not advised in women with neuropathic fecal incontinence treated by pelvic floor repair. |
